X-Men Origins - Wolverine

I saw this film last night, and although I've heard a great number of largely bad things about it I thought it wasn't enormously bad. ***WARNING: Spoilers ahead*** The only real beef I have with it is that it's pretty radically different to the original Marvel story. This is pretty much the same beef I have with most of the modern Marvel movie adaptations - and the X-men franchise has proven to be a prime offender. First off, Victor Creed and Logan are portrayed as brothers - that's a new one, it has its basis in the Wolverine Origins book but in that book the character "Dog Logan" who the movie has turned into Victor Creed was not related to Logan and they never had any sort of brotherly bond, rather they were enemies from a young age as Dog Logan attempted to molest the young Logans minder. Next I think they thoroughly botched Wolverines life in the early-mid 20th century as a "super soldier" for various government agencies and everything to do with Silver Fox and the Weapon X program. Wolverine is portrayed as willingly accepting the adamantium graft while all other Wolverine depictions indicate he was captured by Weapon X and forcibly grafted with adamantium. Furthermore Wolverines lost memories are attributed to adamantium bullets destroying part of his brain post-adimantium graft while other versions of the story indicate that the Weapon X program tampered with his memory before this. The Wolverine of the movie is never grafted with the Weapon X control system (which we see Deadpool being controlled by during the final action sequences) while the comic book versions do depict Wolverine being "tested" with an electronic control system. The relationship with Silver Fox was pretty fucked up - it has its similarities and its differences, yes the whole thing was a set up, but in the movie Silver Fox was motivated to lie to Logan because Weapon X held her sister captive - in the comic story she was just another part of Weapon X the same as Logan. Furthermore the movie Silver Fox doesn't appear to be Native American as the original was depicted. I suppose you've got to bear in mind that "this" version of Wolverine is supposed to click with the version portrayed in the modern X-Men movies, and therefore they can take whatever liberties they like with Wolverines back story (since they've already taken substantial liberties with plenty of other characters bios (including Rogue, The Phoenix, Iceman and pretty much evey other character thus far). But one can't help but feel disappointed that the story has altered to such a degree that it's rather inferior to what was already written. Not the way to win over fans, but that's the way it is. freedoms_stain, out.
